Gourmet Potatoes

This recipe came to me from 'Aunt Delores'........

When we were kids, Mom, Aunt Delores and Aunt Esther were always cooking up something.  So many of my recipes come from these great ladies.  Aunt Delores used to do cooking demonstrations for some of the local department stores.......she always drew a crowd with her dramatic looks and enthusiastic personality.  Of course, butter was her number 1 ingredient in most of her dishes... they were always GOOD!!!!There is nothing healthy about this potato dish.......but who cares!!  It is incredibly creamy, smooth....melding of so many flavors into one explosive flavor punch. 

It has become a holiday staple at my house....in fact, it is now going to on the menu for a friends Rash Hashana dinner.......I better get cooking!

Gourmet Potatoes

8 medium potoatoes, cooked, peeled and then chilled
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded  - I usually use white cheddar only for the color, but it doesn't
             matter
1 can creamof chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1 pint sour cream (don't use the fat free stuff, it just doesn't work as well)

Grate the chilled potatoes.
Melt butter, cheese and soups together.  Once melted, remove from heat - add sour cream and onions.  Mix sauce and grated potatoes together.  Pour into a baking dish and top with bread crumbs.
Bake 1 hour at 350.  Let sit for about 15-20 minutes...........

Chances are that you will never have any leftovers...........but if you do....these are even better reheated the next day.
